Mum punches student, threatens staff over 'bullied' daughter

Bridie Jabour

A mother who punched a 14-year-old girl at her daughter's school and terrorised staff and students over four months has been banned from the grounds for a year.

The mother, known as NS to protect the identity of her daughter and victims, called staff at Bentley Park College in Far North Queensland "white c---s", chased students down the street while hurling abuse and threatened to "bash" various people at the school multiple times.

A Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal judgment handed down last month details the harassment beginning in May last year and five separate threatening episodes occurring over the next four months.

NS, 33, ended up in court after she punched a 14-year-old girl on May 11.

She had accused of bullying her daughter, also a student at the school.

Three days later NS told the school's deputy principal if the alleged bullying was not resolved she would "deal with it by (her) own hands".

In relation to that matter she was berated by a magistrate who told her she had anger management issues.

"A 33-year-old belting a 14-year-old at a school with a teacher present is simply unreasonable, unacceptable behaviour," the magistrate said.

"...You must realise that this was a serious matter, real injuries were done - thankfully not lasting - and the fact that you committed them at school makes them even more serious."

NS was banned from the school grounds for 60 days but on July 23 last year a teacher overheard students talking about being chased by the woman.

The teacher asked NS to leave the school grounds, which she did, but then preceded to yell from the footpath “come out here and I smash you, c'mon I don't care”.

The woman told the teacher the school children had been "cheeky" to her and she would smash them.

"I'll go to jail, I don't care," she said.

The next day NS was back at the school to collect her daughter'.

When she was there she was given a letter saying she was banned from the school's grounds.

“I am going to hunt those girls down, it may not be at school but I get 'em in Cairns," she responded.

"I'm going to f------ smash those little c----.

"This is because we are black”.

She left the school with her daughter but returned because her daughter had forgotten her bike.

When NS was on the grounds retrieving the bike she called a teacher a "white c---" and told her she was going to punch her.

NS stayed away from the school for another six weeks but on September 4 students reported being chased by NS, her daughter and another relative, with NS calling them "sluts".

The students ran to the school for safety, and their parents and the police were called.

NS was again banned from Bentley Park College, this time for the for 60 days to November 24, however in a QCAT decision she was banned for a year starting from September 30, 2012.

In her decision QCAT member Joanne Browne said NS was likely to harm or scare students and staff or disrupt the "good order" of the school.
